Pathways Japan is calling for applications for the JLPT N3 level class 2 for “Japanese for work” for Afghans with the Support of the Foundation for the Welfare and Education of the Asian People (FWEAP) and Shinnyo-en.
This course aims to support Afghan evacuees and former students /residents residing in Japan who do not have any other opportunities to learn Japanese for work by a professional language teacher. Through the online lessons, the participants are expected to improve their Japanese language skill for opening up better career opportunities and building competencies in Japan.
Following the class 1 recruited in Sep, we recruit learners for class 2 who will prepare for taking an exam of JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N3 to be better prepared for finding stable employment in Japan.
